Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is a gram positive, beta-hemolytic, coccal bacterium belonging to the family Streptococcaceae and belongs to the group C and group G streptococci. Streptococcus dysgalactiae is currently divided into the subspecies Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies dysgalactiae (SDSD); the former mostly associated with human disease, and the latter almost exclusively encountered in veterinary medicine. SDSE is a common colonizer of the pharynx, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract and a part of the normal human flora. The clinical manifestations in human disease range from superficial skin infections and tonsillitis, to severe necrotizing fasciitis and bacteremia. The incidence of invasive disease has been reported to be rising.
